This one-woman orchestral rendition of the James Bond themes made me yearn to watch one of the 007 movies but...

... I couldn't figure out which one I'd find time to watch.

Which lead me to think...

It made me realize that I loved the idea of a "James Bond" film more than an actual "James Bond" film.  I mean there isn't a singular perfect James Bond movie that captures his extreme competence which I found so damn cool. And the gadgets. "The Spy Who Loved Me"  "Thunderball"  "Casino Royale (2006)"

I don't know what you call that?  The memory of the action/activity being better/more than actually doing the action/activity.  It isn't "nostalgia", is it?  

This is similar to remembering how fun it was to play a certain game or eat a certain food which you can do right now.. only to discover something essential <friend, spirit, timing, experience, ??> is missing.
